About Music & Sound Design for Visual Media, BA (Hons) - at Catalyst - Institute for Creative Arts and Technology

The Music & Sound Design for Visual Media programme provides a focused pathway into the fields of audio production and creative sound design across the film and media industries. You’ll explore and define your own creative voice whilst building a rewarding career as a music producer, sound designer or audiovisual artist.

Build an original portfolio through interdisciplinary projects across a range of media including sound, video and installation. Produce audio for live projects as well as writing and recording music and sound for film scores, interactive installations, video games, audio libraries and more. Your creative journey will unfold whilst working in historic and vintage studios and through close collaboration with our film, music, visual effects and acting students.

From practical workshops in sequencing and sampling to studio recording, mixing, linear and non-linear composition and more, throughout this hands-on programme you’ll be mastering the technical skills required for a concept to take musical and visual form. Develop a common language that bridges the music and video industries, enabling you to collaborate with practitioners from a variety of disciplines, from film editors to music directors.

Guided by a team of industry experts, your time at Catalyst will give you a solid portfolio of original and creative work along with a thriving network of fellow creative practitioners.
